PT 6080 - Evidence Based Practice

(3)

This course provides students with the foundational knowledge to facilitate excellence when making clinical decisions. The interaction between clinical reasoning and critical thinking, factors influencing clinical reasoning, models used to inform clinical decisions, and collaborating with patients and families in shared decision-making will be explored. Students will be introduced to the principles of evidence-based practice, including types and levels of scientific evidence, requirements of measurement, and the benefits of qualitative and quantitative research to physical therapist practice. Students will begin to learn to apply the evidence by generating researchable clinical questions and conducting a literature review.
